RAF Cosford Gliding 24/8/11

Postby Olicat » Sun Aug 28, 2011 1:16 am

No flying because 8AEF were on block leave (which was a bit annoying as we had been told that we would've gone flying :( )

However we managed to go Gliding with 633 VGS which made up for it.

I took a compact camera with me and filmed the TO and landing and also took some piccies of the local area


Some stills

Fly fast jets and/or C130s over my house please, I'm bored!

BUT, if you're taking pictures you're ONLY a passenger! :-o
